“He never made us feel like failures. He also treated the dogs with love and care, whilst maintaining a status as the pack leader and showing us how to do the same for all 4 mixed breed dogs.”

I pass the skills on to the owners so the dog doesn’t revert to its past behaviour.

I specialise in teaching dog obedience and understanding dog psychology. My clients seek my expertise for general training, separation anxiety, behavioural issues (such as digging and chewing and excessive barking), socialisation and rehabilitation. I train all breeds and all ages.
